Your marble walls will look like they did decades ago. The etching disappears. The stains are gone. The dull, worn surface becomes smooth and lustrous again.
You’ll walk into your bathroom or kitchen and actually notice how beautiful your marble is. No more avoiding that one corner where the damage was worst. No more explaining to guests why your expensive marble looks so tired.
The restoration brings back the depth and character that made you fall in love with marble in the first place. And with proper sealing, it stays protected against the daily wear that caused the problems before.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been serving Port Jefferson’s historic properties for over 25 years. We’re owner-operated, which means you work directly with the craftsman doing the work.
Port Jefferson’s waterfront charm and century-old architecture demand expertise that understands both historic materials and modern restoration techniques. We’ve worked on marble in the area’s most distinguished properties, including maintaining commercial stone surfaces for over 16 years.
The New York Times featured our restoration work back in 2001, but what matters more is that we’re still here, still owner-operated, and still taking on the most challenging marble restoration projects that other contractors won’t touch.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble’s condition. Every stain, every etch mark, every area of deterioration gets evaluated so we know exactly what we’re working with.
The restoration begins with careful cleaning using techniques that won’t damage the stone. We remove soap scum, hard water deposits, and years of buildup without harsh chemicals that etch marble further.
Next comes the grinding and honing process. This is where we remove the damaged surface layer and reveal the healthy marble underneath. We work progressively through different grits until the surface is perfectly smooth. The polishing brings back the luster using diamond compounds and specialized equipment. Finally, we seal the marble to protect against future staining and etching.

Your marble walls restoration covers everything needed to bring those surfaces back to life. We handle shower walls, bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, and any other marble wall surfaces in your Port Jefferson home.
The service includes complete cleaning, stain removal, etch repair, crack filling, grinding, honing, and polishing. We also re-grout and re-caulk where needed, because proper sealing around marble is crucial for long-term protection.
Port Jefferson’s coastal environment and hard water create unique challenges for marble surfaces. We’ve restored intricate marble work in century-old properties throughout the area, understanding how to preserve original character while bringing functionality up to modern standards. Every project includes proper sealing to protect against Long Island’s humidity and mineral-rich water that can damage unprotected marble over time.
Most marble walls restoration projects in Port Jefferson take 1-3 days, depending on the size and condition of the surfaces. A typical bathroom with marble shower walls usually takes about 2 days to complete.
The timeline depends on how much damage we’re repairing. Light restoration with polishing and sealing can often be done in a single day. More extensive work involving crack repair, deep stain removal, or surface grinding takes longer.
We work efficiently because we understand you need your bathroom or kitchen back. The process is dustless, and we protect all surrounding areas. You can usually start using the space again within 24 hours of completion, once the sealer has fully cured.
Yes, we specialize in restoring marble shower walls damaged by soap scum, hard water deposits, and mineral buildup. These are some of the most common problems we see in Port Jefferson homes, especially with Long Island’s mineral-rich water supply.
The key is using the right techniques and products. Many homeowners make the damage worse by using harsh bathroom cleaners that etch the marble surface. We use specialized stone-safe products and equipment to remove even the toughest buildup without damaging the marble.
We also address the underlying causes. After restoration, we seal the marble with products specifically designed for wet environments. We’ll show you proper maintenance techniques to prevent the same problems from recurring. Most of our shower wall restorations look brand new when we’re finished.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve been working on Port Jefferson’s century-old properties since 1998, and we understand the unique challenges that come with historic marble installations.
Older marble often has different characteristics than modern stone. It may be softer, more porous, or have unique veining patterns that require careful handling. We use techniques that preserve the original character while bringing the functionality up to modern standards.
Many of Port Jefferson’s historic waterfront properties have marble that’s been covered up or painted over through the years. We can often restore these surfaces to their original beauty, even when they seem beyond repair. The worse the condition, the more dramatic the transformation – and that’s exactly the kind of project we love taking on.
Cleaning removes surface dirt and grime, but restoration actually repairs damage to the marble itself. If your marble walls have etching, stains, or dull spots, cleaning won’t fix those problems – you need restoration.
Etching happens when acidic substances like soap, shampoo, or cleaning products eat into the marble surface. This creates dull, rough spots that feel different when you touch them. No amount of cleaning will remove etch marks – they have to be ground out and the surface re-polished.
Restoration involves grinding away the damaged surface layer, then progressively polishing with finer and finer compounds until the marble has its original luster back. We also repair cracks, remove deep stains, and seal the surface to prevent future damage. It’s a complete renewal of the marble, not just surface cleaning.
Marble walls restoration costs vary based on the size of the area, the extent of damage, and the specific work needed. We provide free, detailed quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Most homeowners find restoration costs significantly less than replacement. When you factor in the cost of removing old marble, disposing of it, purchasing new stone, and installation, restoration typically costs 40-60% less than starting over.
We’re transparent about pricing because we’re owner-operated – no sales pressure, no hidden fees, just honest assessment and fair pricing. We’ll walk through your space, assess the damage, and give you a detailed written estimate. Many Port Jefferson homeowners are surprised at how affordable it is to bring their marble walls back to life.
Properly restored and sealed marble walls are actually quite easy to maintain. The key is using the right products and techniques, which we’ll teach you as part of our service.
Daily maintenance is simple – just wipe down with water and a soft cloth or squeegee after use. For deeper cleaning, use only pH-neutral stone cleaners, never regular bathroom cleaners that contain acids or harsh chemicals.
The sealer we apply protects against staining and makes cleanup easier, but it’s not permanent. Depending on usage, you’ll typically need resealing every 1-2 years for shower walls, less frequently for other areas. We can handle the resealing, or we’ll show you how to test when it’s needed and do it yourself. Proper maintenance keeps your restored marble looking beautiful for decades.
